This blog started off by focussing on NZ's smaller 3rd level airlines, past and present. It has evolved to trying to present some record of NZ's domestic airline operations and some of the larger charter operators, interesting NZ international airliner movements and photos I have taken around the country.

Taupo Turbos and a few other bits and pieces

Two twin turbo props, Eagle Air Beech 1900 ZK-EAA arriving at Taupo from Wellington as Taupo Tandem Skydiving's GAF N22 Nomad ZK-SNZ taxis out on another mission... Photos taken at Taupo on 30 October 2012 by S Lowe

Also engaged on skydiving duties was Taupo Tandem Skydiving's Pacific Aerospace 750XL ZK-TTL. Photo taken at Taupo on 30 October 2012 by S Lowe

A couple of Pipers, Piper Archer ZK-ELX sets off for home as does Piper Commanche ZK-PMC - though it only taxied from maintenance down to its hangar. Photos taken at Taupo on 30 October 2012 by S Lowe

A new one for me was the Hawera Aero Club's Cessna 152 Aerobat ZK-UNB. Photo taken at Taupo on 30 October 2012 by S Lowe

The most exotic aircraft was undoubtedly Alcoa’s Global Express N264A. Photo taken at Taupo on 30 October 2012 by S Lowe
